Security and Privacy Issues and Solutions in Vehicular Digital Twin Networks

Abstract

The emergence of the vehicular digital twin (VDT) consists of both intra and inter-twin communication is a result of the growth and development of autonomous cars. In addition to offering consumers improved and scalable services, VDT can successfully address the present drawbacks of autonomous vehicles. However, as VDT is exposed to an open network environment on both physical and virtual horizons and gathers a large range of user privacy-sensitive data in real-time, strict security and privacy problems emerge. We look into the privacy and security of VDT in this article. We first go over the specifics of the vehicular digital twin network architecture before looking into a few applications pertaining to VDT. Next, we talk about VDT’s privacy and security concerns. Lastly, from a security and privacy standpoint, we presented a number of viable countermeasures and outstanding research questions for VDT. We anticipate that future research on privacy and security solutions for vehicle digital twin networks will receive attention as a result of our work.
